If you see this error:
Please open Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3 and delete Version.tag. You'll need to open the folders manually; the file won't show up in a search.
If this doesn't help, please move your entire Sims 3 folder out of Documents > Electronic Arts and onto your desktop, then try to launch the game again.
Gemdoll Please open Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3 and delete Version.tag.
Thank you so much!! Worked a treat!!
Hey, when I try to launch the sims 3 on my MacBook this message displays on the screen. I’ve tried uninstalling the expansion packs and it makes no difference. Can anyone help? Thank you!

I've had The Sims 3 for a while but didn't play. Now I want to play again so I downloaded the base game and also the one expansion pack I have Ambitions. The message popped up that the base game was not compatible with expansion pack and to update with sims launcher, however it wouldn't let me click anything on the launcher.
what can I do?
